Brandon Jennings vs. Stephen Curry

Ill take Jennings all day every day. Hes capable of getting 15+ AST any night, hes capable of huge games on any night, jus ask Curry who had 55 dropped on him.. Curry is going to be good, but Jennings will be an All Star.

If Jennings is capable of 15+ assists on any night why hasn't he done it yet? The fact is that Brandon Jennings has 3 double figure assist games this entire season.

Curry has 3 double figure assist games in his last 10 and had 15 against the Kings in a game where if his teammates could have finished better he'd have had 20 assists.

As for the 55 point game early in the season it's pretty obvious that was a fluke for Jennings. Curry's defense has improved since then as well.

Guess you didn't see that game... it wasn't like Jennings was taking Curry to the rack at will or anything like that. Most of the damage was done from behind the arc, as Nellie instructed the guards to go under the screen with Jennings, he was just unconscious from behind the arc.. actually from everywhere in the third quarter. Monta and CJW were also guarding Jennings that game. If one game were a career I would take Jennings, but unfortunately that is not the case.

the first few weeks of November...Jennings was HOT.

Lets look at Feb + March...... in those months Jennings had 2 games of 20+ points....50% of games he was below 10. He never reached 10+ assists.

Curry topped 20 pt 12 times. topped 30 pt 5 times. Curry also had 5 games of 10+ assists.

See a trend? Do the math.

As a Bucks fan who has seen Jennings play all year. He is playing well at the point. The beginning of the season he shot well since he practiced shooting all summer. He has gotten steadily worse as the year has gone on. He shoots good from 3 pt range at about 38%, and he also shoots well when spotting up. He can not finish at the rim and his midrange shooting is horrible.

He does most other things you want a PG to do. He can pass the ball and actually run an offense. He could get more assists if he had better inside finishers, which he doesn't. He plays within the offense. He also has a low turnover rate. He doesn't play for stats.

He should get better, over the summer he should get stronger and work on his midrange shot. As a last comment he is a rookie PG leading a team to a winning record and the playoffs with less talented roster than the Curry or Evans have. Bucks were projected to be the worst team in the East this year. Jennings is the main reason they are not.

This comment holds no water as far as Curry is concerned since GSWs "talented roster" has sustained so many injuries.

Bogut is the Bucks leader. Salmons pushed them to this current streak. Jennings is decent but he's riding some coattails in Milwaukee right now.

Definitely Curry.

Watch out for Curry's D-League Express Team!! If you're telling me the Bucks have less talent than the current Warriors, then the Bucks should be demoted to college, forget the D-League where half our roster was called up from. They are not worthy!

I think both are very talented and add a diffrent element to their tteams. BJ Jazzy Jeff gives a great deal of floor presence and plays to the competition, he gets the bucks into the right sets and deosn't trun the ball over. he also has to ability to drop 35 on the likes of tyreke, 55 against Steph and 25+ against Chauncey/Deron. he also can dissappear. i think that in time he will become more consistent and a better shooter.
Steph on the other hand has the ability to fill it up every night, but sometimes sacrifices the good play in an attempt to make the great play. he could get away with this on a more talented team but GS needs him to be more reliable. he also has a knack at making in oppurtune TO and can get a lil out of control. this too should fade with experience.
as for the assists i think in the style of offense steph plays in 1.5 assists is equal to Jennings 1 assist. if were honest alot of the times steph makes a pass to Ellis/whoever who chucks it even if gaurded. is that an assist because it was a good pass? in the end this season i would go with Jennings because even though his FG% isn't great and people point to the salmons deal as the reason the bucks are winning jennings had the team for out pacing any kind of pre-season predictions while the W's have veiwed this as a lost season since about mid jan. and have basically started letting monta and steph do whatever just to keep the fans excited.

Jennings will never touch Curry's efficiency or his high basketball iq. This is not close.

We'll see if Curry ever leads a team predicted to win around 25 games to 45+ wins as the lead point guard.

Curry is good, but he plays in a very, very number happy system. Even guys like Reggie Williams (D-League) and Tolliver (no idea where he came from) have put up great numbers in that system. Jennings also would have put up better numbers both volume and efficiency in GS, without any question. When you are not expected to defend at all and you play at the fastest pace in the league, easier to amass offensive numbers.

Jennings obviously needs to improve his shooting, but he has been a big play guy all season, and is one of the leaders of a 45+ win team as a rookie. No way in hell I'd trade him for Curry.

It all depends on what you're looking for. If you care about a player showing he can help his team win games, Jennings is your guy. If you prefer a guy proving he can put up big numbers on a horrible team, Curry is your guy.

This is what I have a problem with. Why does it matter if the Bucks were "projected" to win 25 games by the pundits. The Bucks in 2009 were mediocre until Bogut got hurt. The Bucks in 2010 were mediocre until they got John Salmons. I think Jennings is going to end up being pretty good but can people stop acting like he's the number one reason for their turn around?

You're the last person that should be laughing. Who can forget your moronic statement saying the W's made the biggest draftday mistake selecting Curry.

Curry only has five 30pts/10asts games, ranked third behind Wade and LBJ scoring 30 and dishing out 10 or more assists.

lol at this argument. Jennings isn't playing in a loaded Western Conference with half his teammates from the D-League.

lol at this argument. Jennings isn't playing in a loaded Western Conference with over half his teammates from the D-League.

The Warriors have never won this year, regardless of who has been playing. That will happen when your team plays zero defense at all times.

And yes, the WC is tougher, but the Bucks would easily be ahead of the Warriors even if in the West.

More available outside shots for Jennings in the Warriors offense would improve his efficiency? Yeah That's extremely wishful thinking. He'd get more layups, but that's the only efficiency jump he would receive.

I also wouldn't brag too much about Jennings having more team success considering Curry is in the loaded WC playing a depleted roster most of the season.

NetsForce · Post #59 » by **NetsForce** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 9:34 pm

Heh looks like I was dead wrong on Curry even after factoring out Warriorsville inflation. I also didn't think Jennings would be this bad with his efficiency, don't get me wrong I knew he couldn't shoot for **** and that he was on a fluke run to start the season but he has been downright pitiful this season...

You don't have any room to laugh at other people, when you're entire argument is based on empty stats. When GS starts playing a reasonable style of ball that doesn't include giving up 4 points a game more than the next worst team, then get back to us.

Biedrins was supposed to be one of the up and coming centers in the NBA. When healthy this year, his game regressed. Randolph hasn't progressed as expected when he's been healthy. Jackson didn't want to play for GS. When you have a good PG, those types of things shouldn't happen.

Jennings isn't the biggest reason for the Bucks' success, but it's no coincidence that Bogut's having his best season. They quickly developed a chemistry that has improved the team. And other than those 2, Milwaukee was NOT a talented team, by any stretch of the imagination - until they got Salmons - who Chicago couldn't wait to dump - because he was horribly there. Delfino was a guy nobody wanted. Stackhouse they got for nothing. a Moute was a 2nd round pick tweener forward who still can't shoot. Ilyosova was horrible with Milwaukee his first go round. Bell wouldn't make most NBA rosters. They were hoping guys like Warrick and Alexander would play major roles. So don't hand us excuses about talent.
